Soon to lay the keel, Trumpeter 1 350 Taszkient or Taskent

[BattleshipBob]

A Bob Ramble alert!

After the total disaster that is HMS Daring, mistake after mistake i learnt a huge amount and all problems were mine, so hopefully a much better build.



I am building this in a totally different way to Daring, starting with many reads of the plans!

I have also bought the Mr Color paints for this ship

Tashkent was built in Italy for the Russian navy ( no 4BO!! ) and was very fast, over 44 knots on trial and a good looking ship.


If anybodys interested i am doing more research and will post if needed??

Hi Bob
Permission to drop anchor and watch you cast off and sail away.
I am certain that the experience with the Daring will be invaluable.

Bob,
nice looking model - the Trumpeter 1/350 ships are pretty good, but can vary in quality, especially in the provision of PE - some have full sets, the others partial. At this scale PE railings are really needed! Does the Taszkient have full lengths of railing? I've got the Trumpeter Dreadnought in the stash - and that only has partial railings - you have to buy AM railings to complete it - very annoying!
I'll be interested in following your progress...............
Dave

Hi Dave

Not a lot of PE, railings only for the bridge area.

I assume theres generic sets out there for ships railings, will have a look. Good to have you on board.

Greetings Bob.
After recovering from reading that you were going to build a Russian ship and taking some meds I should like to join the growing crowd of onlookers.
Unfortunately they weren't painted in 4BO isn't, you would have just loved that .
However if this is a subtle hint that I should build a ship then sorry, just too small for my eye to cope with .

Bob,
Eduard do various sets of railings like this - https://www.eduard.com/Ships-and-submarines/1-350/Royal-Navy-Railing-1-350.html I'm not sure if they match the Trumpy rails, but there are USN, IJN & Kriegsmarine types as well. There are other Chinese makers & a search for '1/350 Railing' on ebay will give you an idea..............
